“Write or Die: Here’s Your Stick of Dynamite” with Anne Heffron

Real Eyes Realize

This podcast features Anne Heffron who is a screenwriter, book author, and an incredible writing coach. She compares writing to poop. She surmises, “What if we realized writing is as basic a function as pooping … it is within us and wants to get out! We also don’t sit around and evaluate poop either. Think about that.” What a world it would be if we all felt free enough to write from an authentic and true place within. Anne relates her coaching to a “stick of dynamite” when it comes to helping her clients move past rules and the learned structure of writing, and our inherent editing mind, and teaches people how to find their authentic voice and the question their life is here to answer.

Anne Heffron: Anne Heffron has taught writing for most of her adult life. She has been eating ice cream for even longer. She is currently writer-in-residence, farmer-in-training at Spirit Hill Farm in Sebastopol and holds online classes for adopted people with Pam Cordano. As a writing coach, she teaches both groups of people and individuals how to express their most authentic selves on paper. She got a dog not long ago and is deeply, wildly, in love.
